FOUR PICTURES OF DEATH.
A Graphic Story of the Last Moments of
the Doomed Anarchists-Bravado and
Desperation In the Very Moment of Death.

CHICAGO, November 1850 a. NJ
The death warrant was officially deliv
cred to Chief Deputy Gleason on board
the Z o'clock train from Springfield at
22d street this morning, by Robert
Oglesby, the governors son and private
secretary.
Shortly after o'clock Fisher awoke
with start. He yawned, rubbed his
eyes, looked up at the daylight that was
now creeping 10 through the skylights,
sprang lightly from his cot and COM
menced to dress. There was sullen
look upon his face, and he only grunted
when the death watch wished him a
cherry good morning. Almost at the
same moment Engel arose and Spies
awoke. Engel at once arose from his
bunk. Spies, however, stretched his
arms and lay still moment as if think
ing. Parsons sat upon the edge of bis
cot and gazed at the opposite wall of his
cell, then he sighed in q sad and weary
way and slowly arose. Fischer expressed
desire to wash himself, and, guarded
by six turkeys, he was taken 10 8 faucet
at the farther end of the cage, where for
months the condemned msa have held
daily levees with their friends and rela.
tives. AS he emerged from the cell he
stood still for moment and looked in a
strange, enquiriDg way at the telegraph
instrument, which at that moment was
sending his every movement throughout
the country. When he had reached the
stationary washstand be turned the
faucet with a sharp jerk, plunged his
hands into the cold water and plentifully
besprinkled his face and neck. Then he
rubbed himself briskly with q towel F.,
surveyed himself in the glass and iodi'
Gated to his keepers that he was ready to
return. As the key turned upon him,
the door of Spies cell was thrown open
and the arch conspirator stepped out.
His face was pale as death, but there was
q look of bravado upon his countenance,
and as he stood there with his head
planted firmly upon his shoulders and
his eyes looking straight into those of a
tall man before him, it was evident that
be was making strong and determined
effort to bear himself bravely to the end.
He wished the guard good morning in an
easy manner, and then following Fishers
example walked over to the other end OF
the corridor and washed himself. After
he had finished his ablutions and had
been again locked up, Engel and Parsons
we're brought out in their turn and given
an opportunity to cleanse themselves.
They manifested 6rmness of demeanor,
but said nothing in response to the ques'
tions of the keepers regarding how they
felt. Parsons, however, asked for a hair
brush, and one WAS furnished him from
Matson's quarters. He brushed his hair
carefully, and, with the brief remark,
''that's all" he turned on his heel to-
ward his cell. Att o'clock food, which
had been ordered, was brought in and
| taken to the cells, All had ordered beef.

as black lead. =. .....

PersOn0l3ties.

Keep clear of personalities in gen
eral conversation. Talk of things
objects, thoughts. The smallest
minds occupy themselves with per
sonalities. Personalities must some
times be talked, because we have to
learn and find out mems characteris-
tics for legitimate objects; but it is to
be with confidential persons. Do
not need!cssly report i'll of others
There are times when wc arc com
PEELED to say, "I do not think that
Bouncer IS q true and honest man 3"
but when thore is no need to express
an opinion, let poor Bouncer swagger
away. Others will take his measure
no doubt, and save vow the trouble of
analyzing him and instructiug them.
And as far as possible dwell on the
good side of human beings. There
are family boards where q constant
process of depreciating, assigning
motives, and cutting up character
goes forward. They are not pleas
ant places. One who is healthy does
not wish to dine ut dissectiny table.
There is evil enough in mnn, God
knows; but it is not the mission of
every young man or woman to detail
and report it all. Keep the atmos-
phere as pure as possible anil fragrant
with gentleness and charity.-John

cd the Georgia Legislature to offer q
bonus to the farmers, to get them to
raise thoir own mules. Something of
this kind would be worth thousands

ey goes out Of the State annually to
pay for mules and horses, than comes
into it, as profits on cotton Mules
and horses are the money crops of
Tennessee and Kentucky, and the
business is studied 80 thoroughly, shat
they make the best of it. As good
results could be obtained here with

Checking an EVIL.

There are limits to confidence, linn
its to familiarity, which no teachers
fail to impress upon their pupils, fail
ing in which they loose their hold
upon the discipline of the school.
No teacher wants their pupils to fear,
distrust, or shrink from him. He
seeks their confidence and desires
familiarity; but human nature, espe-
cially in children, takes advantage of
this, and many teacher has learned
to his sorrow that familiarity breeds
contempt. At first the mischief
wrought seems to affect the teacher,
but its final influence is upon the
pupil. There must be appreciabIe
limits to the familiarity of the pu-
pills with the teacher, and this should
be understood at first, and every COM
panionable privilege granted should
be with the understanding that the
teacher cannot, will not, lower him
self in oil things to the level of child
life.-Jourual Of Eaucatiom.

The Experimental Station.

The more any man knows about
his profession, or calling, whatever it
is, the greater are his chances for
success. There are established schools
in the State to teach young men in
nearly all the laudable pursuits ex-
cept that of agriculture. There is u
strong sentiment in the State de
manding an agricultural college, and
it will in the near future lead to the
permanent establishment of such q
school. It will occupy the site of one
of the experimental stations soon to
be located.
It will be worth much to any com
munity to have the college located in
its midst, or even contiguous to it,
We will stand a good chance Of get.

near this County, if our people will

The DISCOVERIES OF Anthracste
Coal.

| Anthracite was discovered in Penn
sylvania in 1880, by Nicholas Allen
This Allen, according to the stories
and traditions that have been han.
ded down about him must have been
a kind of Rip Van Wrinkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region, and opened an inn on
the summit of tue Broad Mountain
For time he led a wandering exis.
tence, hunting, fishing, and lumber
ing, while his wife attended TO the
wants OF thirsty travellers. In one
OF MS hunting excursions he camped
out ut the foot Of Broad Mountain, at
spot where coal vein cropped out
and upon lighting a fire, lie was as
tonished at the intense heat it threw
Oft. He also saw that some of the
black stones had become red hot. He
dug some of it, and carried it homs
when his wife more practical than
himself, pronounced it coal. They
saw the coal crop ont in abundance,
and visions of fortune that might be
realized out of it flashed through
their minds simultaneously. So, dis
posing of their effects, they loaded
two large covered wagons with the
coal, and set out for Philadelphia,
with the intention of marketing il
there and discovering it's true value.
They drove along the banks of the
Schuylkill, sleeping in the open air
at night. At Pottstowu three oftheir
horses died, and the coal was dump
ed into the river. Wearied and dis
heartened, the pair returned to the
old place at the summit of the noun
tain, and shortly ofterward Allen laid
his faithful wife to rest over the coal
vein that proved their ruin, and turn
ed his face towards the West, where
after an uneventful career, he inlist
ed for the cnmpaigne under Harrison,
and fell at Tippecanoe.

We do not otsuppose the line between
what is proper, and what is improper
for publication as news, will ever be-
come we'll defined, or clearly settled.
Every publisher judges for himself,
and the public rarely find out by what
criterion one is governed in partic
ular case. Pandering to corrupted
taste has deprecated the moral tone
of journalism, and the more the press
cultivates this field, the more material
will be required to furnish it. Many
publishers would not have the cheek
to read their own journals before
promiscuous assembly, on account Of
She matter of doubtful propriety
therein published. Reciting the de-
tails of social scandal has never
benefited the parties concerned, but
has done much harm to society.

Nearly everybody is pitching into
the Public School System, and many
suggestions have been made for in
creasing their efficiency. How would
it do for County boards of examiners
to adopt the plan carried out by the
trustees of the Peabody Fund? or do
little better give fifty per cent of the
teachers salaries, and let the town
ship trustees appoint trustees to each
school who shall raise q subscription
to run the school given time, then
the public trustees could supplement
it. The law is in the way if any
should object.

The young men of the future have

been opened to girls, it is a notable
fact that the girls this year have got

AS there is no institution thus
